Offensive tackle Riley Reiff continues to have his role expanded, but it is unclear when he will first start for the Detroit Lions.

Reiff was the Lions' first round pick in 2012.

"He's getting close," Scott Linehan said. "I don't know what that day will be. A lot of times, the situation or the game takes care of that. We're getting a lot of good production out of a rookie player and I think he's gaining confidence with his time on the field right now."
